19世纪60年代中期,阿古柏侵占南疆后,创铸了“天罡”银币。光绪三年(1877年),左宗棠收复南疆后,因当地维族人民习用阿古柏天罡已久,一时骤难更改,故顺其习俗。但是“南八城创铸天罡,沿用既久,成色分量,任意低减,流弊滋多。”光绪十二年,清廷批准新疆省的建议,命令新疆各地广铸红钱,以便利民间行用,同时严禁天罡,免滋流弊。天罡禁用后,除零星日用使用红钱外,大额交易则恢复使用银锭。由于银锭的使用需要鉴定成色,称量轻重,很不方便,同时市场上红钱仍然很缺乏,以致天罡的行用不能完全禁绝。 In the mid-1860s, Agupa captured Nanqiang and created a “Tiangang” silver coin. Emperor Guangxu three years (1877), Zuo Zongtang recovered after the southern border, because the local Uyghur people use Aguda Pang has long been a temporary change is difficult to change, so along the customs. However, in the 12th year of Guangxu’s approval of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Qing government ordered the entire province of Xinjiang to cast red money in order to facilitate Non-governmental use, at the same time is strictly prohibited Tiangang, avoid nausea. Tiangang disabled, in addition to sporadic daily use of red money, large trading is the resumption of the use of silver ingots. As the use of silver need to identify the fineness, weighing weight, very inconvenient, while the market is still a lack of red money, resulting in the use of Tiangang can not be completely banned.
