There is a difference between criminal private prosecution and civil litigation, which is different from general civil litigation. When initiating a criminal private prosecution, the plaintiff thinks that the defendant's circumstances are serious.

Private prosecution refers to a case in which the victim or his legal representative or close relatives bring a lawsuit to the people's court to investigate the criminal responsibility of the defendant and the case is directly accepted by the people's court. In China, courts at all levels regard prosecution as the premise of trial. If no party brings a lawsuit to the court, there will be no trial.
2.？ civil action
Civil litigation refers to the activities of the people's court to try and solve civil disputes according to law with the participation of the parties and all participants in the litigation, and the litigation relationship arising from these activities. The characteristics of civil litigation are: solving disputes between equal subjects through judicial means, and the court exercises judicial power to solve civil disputes on behalf of the state.

3. The main differences between the two
If the people's court, the public security organ and the people's procuratorate have witnessed the situation of the parties and other participants involved in the litigation according to the corresponding legal procedures, the procedure for hearing the claims related to the parties is called criminal proceedings. Civil litigation is usually brought by the victims of criminal cases to the court, demanding that criminals compensate them for their losses.
