Since ancient times, Jinjiang Ancient Village has enjoyed splendid cultural activities, outstanding people, especially more than a dozen ancient ancestral temples, dozens of ancient residential courtyards with different styles, and dozens of river and pebble ancient roads interweaving vertically and horizontally, which reveal profound cultural connotations everywhere. The Zhu's Family Ancestral Temple in Jinjiang is the general ancestral temple of the whole village, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. The gold inscription of "We Are The World" presented by Zhu De hangs on the cross-brackets.

Jinjiang was also a place where revolutionaries such as Zhu De and Chen Yi fought and lived. In 1927, Zhu De led the rest of the Nanchang Uprising to Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan, and then to Rucheng, and stationed in the ancestral temples and major courtyards of Jinjiang. With the help of the volunteers in Jinjiang, they made a great effort to complete the turning point from weak to strong. So far, these precious revolutionary old sites are well preserved in Jinjiang.
