contents In this paper, we study third order nonlinear partial differential equations which describe surfaces of constant curvature. From the flatness of connection 1-forms, we present a classification of equations with the type $u_t - u_{xxt} = λu^2 u_{xxx} + G(u, u_x, u_{xx}) (λ\in\mathbb{R})$, which describe pseudospherical or spherical surfaces. We show that series of typical soliton equations belong to certain subclass, such as the generalized Camassa-Holm equation, which gives a geometric explanation to these equations.
