摘　　要：The Qinling orogen is a typical composite orogen for understanding multi-stages of magmatism and orogenic processes. Many studies have been carried out on the magmatic rocks in the Qinling orogen but their petrogenesis is still controversial. This pa- per presents a review of all granitoid rocks based on previous and new studies of geochronology and geochemistry. Four dis- tinct periods of granitoid magmatism, Neoproterozoic （979-711 Ma）, Paleozoic （507-400 Ma）, Early Mesozoic （250-185 Ma） and Late Mesozoic （160-100 Ma）, have been recognized from the Qinling orogen according to zircon U-Pb ages, intrusion as- sociations and deformation, as well as regional geology. The Neoproterozoic granitic rocks consist of three stages at 979-911, 894-815 and 759-711 Ma, respectively, corresponding to strongly deformed S-type, weakly deformed I-type and A-type gran- itoids. They can be interpreted as magmatic occurrences in syn-collisional, post-collisional and extensional settings, respec- tively, in response to old continental terranes of the Neoproterozoic tectonomagmatic events in the old continents of China, such as South China and Tarim cratons. Although this continental terrane would be involved in the Phanerozoic Qinling orog- eny, the Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks are not the products of the Qinling orogenic processes. The Paleozoic magmatic rocks can be classified into three stages at 507-470, 460-422 and 415-400 Ma, respectively. The first-stage magmatism is temporal- ly associated with ultra-high pressure metamorphism in the North Qinling terrane. These magmatic rocks are interpreted as magmatic occurrences in subductional, syn-collisional and post-collisional settings, respectively. The Early Mesozoic mag- matic rocks occur in two stages at 252-185 and 225-200 Ma, respectively. The first-stage granitoids are mainly represented by I-type quartz diorites and granodiorites, and the second stage by granodiorites and monzogranites with the 1- to A-type charac- teristics and some with rapakivi textures.
