To sort out the whole sample of pulsars with measured P and P into two types has much something to do with the origin and evolution of neutron stars. Under the configuration of two types of pulsars with different spindown mechanism, we have discussed a variety of their properties, including their radio emission mechanism, space velocities, interior structures and evolutionary modes. The fact that different type of pulsars does have quite different properties indicates that the processes to create neutron stars may have two distinct types, say, Type II supernova explosion and the collapse of accreting white dwarfs. The evolutionary mode for our Type I pulsars provides such a key link between binary pulsars and X-ray binary pulsars that we may propose a self-consistent scenario for binary pulsars, X-ray binary pulsars, fast pulsars as well as Type I pulsars.
