For a long time, the land-mare dichotomy based on lunar albedo has dominated our general sense of the lunar global geotectonic framework. However, lunar exploration data since the end of the last century shows that the South Pole-Aitken basin, which is the largest impact basin on the Moon, not only occupies a large region of the Moon but also differs from highland and mare in properties and evolution processes. Based on the study of the typical characteristics of lunar geophysics, geochemistry and topography, a geotectonic framework of ternary pattern is proposed here. The three units extend both on the horizontal surface and in the vertical direction, including the mare tectonic domain that mainly covers the Procellarum and its neighboring mare basins, the highland tectonic domain that mainly covers the highland on the farside, and the South Pole-Aitken basin tectonic domain that is mainly occupied by the great South Pole-Aitken basin.
