The emergence of legal measures on income distribution has become a new phenomenon in China in 2007. The implementation of a series of distribution-related laws will build the legal groundwork for narrowing inequality. Between 2007 and 2008，financial factors are playing a key role in income distribution and hence the rising income inequality from properties is noteworthy，which lead to several new trends in the dynamics of distribution. Long-term mechanisms dealing with income distribution problems should be established. It is also urgent to develop mechanisms through which equality and efficiency will be balanced as well as to reduce the widening of income gap in all respects.
