基于大陆根柱构造概念，讨论了新生代以来中国大陆岩石圈尺度的大地构造分区．地壳浅部主要表现为３种构造形态，即西部青藏挤压造山带、东部大陆裂谷带和中部克拉通块体群，它们分别对应山根与造山岩石圈根、地幔热柱和大陆（岩石圈）根．认为浅部构造形态是对壳幔深部构造的一种响应．简述了对应于岩石圈尺度的３个大地构造单元的软流圈的性质与类型．讨论了中国大陆东西部的成因联系．中国大陆上同时并存的３种构造形态，是全球大陆的一个缩影 Based on the continental root column structure concept, the geotectonic zonation of the lithosphere scale in mainland China since the Cenozoic was discussed. The shallow crust is mainly characterized by three tectonic forms: the western Qinghai-Tibet crust orogenic belt, the eastern continental rift belt and the central craton block group, which correspond to the rhizosphere and mantle lithospheric roots, the mantle plume and the continental )root. It is believed that the shallow structure is a response to the deep crustal structure. The properties and types of asthenosphere of three tectonic units corresponding to lithospheric scales are briefly described. Discussed the causal relationship between the eastern and western parts of mainland China. Three kinds of structures that co-exist in mainland China are a microcosm of the global continent
