•3.3Ga trondhjemites and 2.8, 2.7–2.6, 2.4 and 2.0Ga granites occur in Yangtze Craton.•We propose that the 2.7–2.6Ga magmatism was related to an orogenic event.•The granitoid magmatism shifted from TTG- to granite-dominated since 2.8Ga.•This change may reflect a transition from subduction- to collis...
