Abstract: In order to research into the realistic meaning of the division of civil trust and commercial trust,the author sums up the different standards to distinguish the civil trust and the commercial trust and analyses the meaning of this distinction.The author holds that the meaning to distinguish the commercial trust and the traditional naked trust in the Anglo-American law is to apply different rules to the commercial trust.However there is no essential meaning to distinguish the commercial trust and the civil trust in our country,since there are no rules of equity in our legal system and what we can introduce into is the system of commercial trust.We can shape the trust system in the aim of trust,trustee, beneficial power and trust property to meet our need other than being limited in the rules and idea of the traditional naked trust of the Anglo-American law.
