Some considerations of orogen—paleogeography in basins’ palinspastic reconstruction is, essentially, a basin analysis in the light of tectonic outlook of mobilism. The paper emphasized to look at a basin with an eye on the course of its development and dynamic evolution. The present situation of a basin might be only a relict (or a residual) part of a large basin in geohistory; or a sedimentary collage, with the sedimentary records from originally separated and independent basins each other. The existing sub-order tectonic units in a basin might be created in younger orogenies; another possibility might be that the original sub-order units were blurred or concealed by later tectono-thermal events. It might be a common sight that the uplifts (including the sub-order uplifts) sometimes rised and sometimes fell in formational process of a basin; correspondingly, the basins sometimes separated and sometimes merged together. There was an organic relation between the pan-continental cycles and large basin evolution, namely, the large basin developing might be constrained by the neighboring oceanic evolution and orogenic process. So, an analysis on coupling between basin and orogeny should be a key to correctly understand basin’s dynamic evolution. To be reflected in palinspastic reconstruction, orogen-paleogeography suggested a combination of an autochthonous reconstruction and a non-autochthonous one, with stress on the latter. There were two ways for non-autochthonous paleogeographic reconstruction: quantitative (for example, based on paleomagnetic data) and qualitative ones. The paper discussed five key points in the qualitative reconstruction: 1) timely, to combine a study of “reversed succession”, 2) spatially, to synthesize a study of “inversion tectonics”, 3) to emphasize significance of structural restoration in paleogeographic reconstruction, 4) reformation events in the period of basin formation serving as a link between past and future,  and 5) a study on basin geodynamics matched the orogenic geodynamics.
