Here new evidence of the isotope geochronology and the geochemistry from the Yuanmou-Miyi complexes reveal the Precambrian tectono-magmatism geodynamic process in the study area. The Yangtze Block basement with 1.81- ~1.77 Ga and negative εHf(t) values of −7.8 to −0.7 corresponded to the assembly of the Columbia-supercontinent. However, the rifting magmatic event of ~ 1.70 Ga, which caused the continental crust extension-thinning in the study area, may exert influence on the subduction-magmatism in the Grenvillian period. The Yuanmou-Miyi complexes of 1.19- ~1.00 Ga are characterized by (La/Sm)N＞1, depletion in HFSEs, negative anomalies of Nb-Ta, and enrichment of LILEs, which show a genetic link with the subduction-magmatism. The temporal tendency that the magmatism from Yuanmou to Miyi gradually became younger, may be responsible for the subducting direction. The subduction caused the reactivation of the Anninghe-Lvzhijiag fault zone, and created the rupture windows of the subduction slab, leading to upwelling of the deep magma. These granitoids were derived from the partial melting of the mantle wedge, while the small-scale gabbro dikes intruded into the granitoids were likely spillover products from the asthenosphere mantle melts through the rupture windows.
