    • The uplift mechanism of the Cenozoic Longmenshan has two endmember modes: upper crustal shortening and lower crustal flow. The two modes will cause different tectonic deformation responses in the Sichuan basin and form different basin-mountain systems. In order to determine the tectonic deformation characteristics of the basin-mountain system in the southern Longmenshan and the frontal area and its dynamic indicative significance, seven sandstone samples from Well Ledi 1 in the southern Longmenshan frontal area were analyzed by low-temperature thermochronology (AFT and AHe) to constrain the exhumation characteristics of the front area. The results show that the shallow strata in the frontal area of the southern Longmenshan have experienced a rapid exhumation stage (~500 to 700 m/Ma) of ~10 to 11 Ma since the Miocene (~21 Ma). This rapid exhumation stage is synchronized with the rapid exhumation time revealed by the predecessors in the southern Longmenshan. Combined with regional geological data, it is believed that the thrust and nappe from the southern Longmenshan to the southeast at ~10 to 11 Ma, caused the tectonic stress to be transferred to the basin through the multi-layered detachment layers in the southwestern Sichuan basin, resulting in large-scale tectonic deformation and rapid exhumation in the front area. This knowledge indicates the uplift mechanism of the southern Longmenshan is the upper crustal shortening model.
