Jinjiang District was named Jinjiang, which can be traced back to the pre-Qin Dynasty. After Li Bing, the governor of Shu County, created the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, he dug the Qing River and the Qing River again, diverting the water from the Min River to flow under the city walls of Chengdu. Not only did it completely end Chengdu’s humiliating history, it also made the Chengdu plain free of floods and droughts. By the Han Dynasty, the weaving industry in Chengdu was booming and Shu brocade was as good as gold. Qingjiang (Nanhe Section), one of the two rivers dug by Li Bing, is famous for washing Sichuan brocade. There are records in history that "the color is bright and the texture is flexible, and it is of the highest quality". So Qingjiang was also called Zhuojinjiang, or Jinjiang for short, and it is still used today. When the district was built, the meaning of "the Zhuojin River has a long history" was taken.
As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, Yanshikou and other areas were already populated areas, which consolidated popularity for the commercial prosperity of later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Gao, the military governor of Jiedu, opened the East City and the South City, opening the curtain of Chengdu's eastward and southward development. The Jinjiang area enjoys the convenience of water and land thoroughfares, with merchants gathering and all industries prospering. It is known as "the best district in western Sichuan" and ranks among the 85 Wang counties in the country. By the late Tang Dynasty, East Street, which ran through Yanshikou and Daci Temple, became the most prosperous commercial street in Chengdu. Different markets are opened every month in the area around the mountain gate of Daci Temple, pioneering market trade in Chengdu and known as the "December Market" in history. Therefore, East Street was praised by later generations as "the first street in Sichuan". Extremely prosperous commercial trade was a prerequisite for the birth of the world's first banknote "Jiaozi". During the Northern Song Dynasty, the management agency of "Jiaozi", Yizhou Jiaoziwu, settled on Junlong Street adjacent to East Street, becoming the ancestor of financial institutions. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the brewing industry rose rapidly due to its advantage in water conservancy along the Jinjiang River. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the area from Jiuyanqiao Pier to Shuijing Street became an emerging business district with the brewing industry as its core, known as the "Chengdu Bund".
Since the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the depression caused by the war in the late Ming Dynasty has gradually disappeared, and the land of Jinjiang has once again prospered. In the late Qing Dynasty, Sichuan Quanye Road implemented the New Deal and built Chengdu Quanyechang, one of the four major Quanyechangs in the country, becoming the birthplace of modern commerce in western China. The business on East Street is better than before, with more than 100 merchants and guilds stationed there, more than 1,000 shops opened, and dozens of business types. It was once the largest cloth and silk trading center in the Bashu region. During the Republic of China, Chunxi Road was built, which not only connected East Street and Quanyechang, but also introduced the modern business model of Nanjing Road in Shanghai, attracting many time-honored businesses such as "Hengdeli" and "Fengxianglou" to settle in, making it a business benchmark in Chengdu. , establishing its status as a commercial and trade center in southwest China.
In addition to the prosperous trade from ancient times to the present, Jinjiang District also has a rich cultural heritage. The Daci Temple built by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty has been famous for thousands of years and enjoys the reputation of "the first jungle in China". In the Tang Dynasty, Daci Temple was so large that it occupied half of the city. The Zen tea method pioneered by Zen Master Wuxiang has reached as far as Japan and South Korea, becoming the beginning of the tea ceremony in Southeast Asia. Master Xuanzang, the prototype of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", once studied Buddhism here. The murals in the temple were praised by Su Dongpo as "the most exquisite in the world".
Hejiang Pavilion, which flourished in the Tang Dynasty, is the first municipal park in the history of Chengdu. There are records in the history of "boats going back and forth, entering the Yangtze River and going down to Soochow, and there are many tourists".
The Shuijingfang site located on Shuijing Street is known as the "No. 1 liquor distillery in China". The 600-year-old liquor distillation and brewing technology is called "the wordless history book of Chinese liquor brewing" by the industry.
