Our review paper (Xu et al., 2020) reconstructed the Cambrian–Triassic tectonic evolution of the Qiangtang Block. However, the recent comments from Zeng and Shi (2020) disagreed with some interpretations in our model, including the affiliation of Early Paleozoic magmatic rocks within the Qiangtang Block and Paleozoic continent-continent collisions involving the Qiangtang Block. This reply focuses on the scientific logic of the geological evidence presented by Zeng and Shi (2020) and responds to the individual comments. Finally, we realize that these criticisms enhanced our understanding of the Qiangtang Block, but did not challenge the geodynamic model we proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
