Popis: The Western Qinling Orogen (WQO) is characterized by voluminous distribution of Indosinian granitoids, the formation of which provides an important window to unravel the geochemical and geodynamic evolution and associated metallogeny. Here we investigate a group of intrusions termed “Five Golden Flowers” based on petrological, geochemical, zircon U–Pb geochronological and Lu–Hf isotopic studies on the granitoids and their mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs). Our results show that these intrusions are genetically divided into two types, namely, magma-mixing and highly fractionated. The Jiaochangba, Lujing, Zhongchuan, and Luchuba granitoids are biotite monzogranites (220 ​± ​0.8 ​Ma to 217 ​± ​2.6 ​Ma) with abundant coeval MMEs (220 ​± ​1.1 ​Ma to 217 ​± ​2.7 ​Ma). The rocks contain moderate to high SiO2, high MgO, Rb, Sr, Ba, and Th contents, but low TiO2, P2O5, and Sc values, A/CNK of
