Pacific-type orogens (fold belts) hosting accretionary complexes are places keeping records of the evolution of paleo-oceans, and formation and transformation of continental crust at their active convergent margins. Pacific-type orogeny induces destruction of crustal materials, their subduction to the deep mantle, generation of hydrouscarbonated plumes in the mantle transition zone (MTZ) and its related intra-plate magmatism. We propose a new approach for linking paleo-oceans, active margins and intra-plate magmatism in central and eastern Asia. The approach "stands" on three "whales": the model of Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS), the parameters of Pacific-type convergent margins and a model of hydrous-carbonated plumes. The OPS model evolved from extensive studies of accretionary complexes in the western Pacific, in particular, in Japan; it allows differentiating oceanic plates of one paleoocean and evaluating their sizes and ages. An important issue for reconstructing the history of paleo-oceans is to estimate major parameters of the Pacific-type convergent margins: accreting vs. Eroding, geometrical length, and life time.
