    • South China Block is a natural laboratory for the study of paleogeographic environmental changes and biological evolution since it has myriad records of major biological evolutionary events in the Paleozoic. However, the paleogeographic location of South China during this period remains controversial. In this paper it selects and evaluates different paleogeographic reconstruction models of the South China Block in the Middle Paleozoic by using of the paleomagnetic data, paleontological evolution pattern, paleogeographic environmental changes and other indicators. It is difficult for the existing models to match most of these indicators. On the basis of the newly proposed paleogeographic reconstruction of South China at the end of Ordovician based on true polar wandering, it established the paleogeographic location model of South China at four different periods from the Late Ordovician to Devonian. The model shows that the relationship between South China and the Gondwana is dynamically evolving, with a movement from near to far and from far to near. Moreover, this model can well match the existing data of paleomagnetism, paleontology, tectonic evolution and paleogeographic environment changes in South China, which provides a high accuracy paleogeographic reconstruction for the further study of the Paleozoic environment and paleontological evolution in South China.
