The NE‐trending Jiangnan orogenic belt has experienced multi‐tectonic episodes since the Mesozoic separates the Yangtze Block in the north‐west from the Cathaysia Block in the south‐east. The Taqian–Fuchun thrust zone in north‐east Jiangxi Province is located in the eastern Jiangnan orogenic belt. It is considered as an essential unit to understand the geometry, kinematics and dynamics of the Mesozoic nappe structures in the eastern Jiangnan orogenic belt and an ideal region to reveal the Mesozoic tectonic evolution in South China. Here, we present new detailed structural data coupled with zircon U–Pb and apatite fission‐track dating studies, establishing a four‐stage deformation history and describing the geometry, kinematics, ages and dynamic background. The Middle–Late Triassic NW–SE compression event (D1, 243–226 Ma) is mainly characterized by regional angular unconformity between the Lower and Upper Triassic and asymmetric folding of the underlying strata. The associated regional NW–SE shortening was related to the intercontinental collision. The Middle–Late Jurassic NW–SE compression event (D2, 175–160 Ma) is characterized by the angular unconformity between the Middle Jurassic and Cretaceous and the SE‐vergent imbricate nappe structures. The shortening has been associated with the NW‐ward subduction of the Paleo‐Pacific Plate. The Late Jurassic–Cretaceous NW–SE extension event (D3, 160–67 Ma) includes the transition stage from compression to extension (160–145 Ma) and the intensive extension stage (145–67 Ma). The former is characterized by the development of the extensional detachment structures and intermediate‐acid magmatism, while the latter is characterized by the development of Cretaceous extensional sedimentary basins and A‐type granites. This extension was correlated to the slab roll‐back of the Paleo‐Pacific Plate. The Paleocene–Eocene compression event (D4, 67–35 Ma) is manifested by the thrusting of metamorphic rocks in the Shuangqiaoshan Group to the Cretaceous red beds. This shortening possibly originated from the collision between the India and Eurasian Plates. This study provides new constraints on the Mesozoic structural style and establish a reliable geochronological framework of the Mesozoic tectonic evolutions of the eastern Jiangnan orogenic belt.
