文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)里(li)的(de)稱謂源自(zi)唐代中期(qi)，撫州(zhou)(zhou)官(guan)府在(zai)(zai)城東(dong)撫河(he)段修筑(zhu)(zhu)攔河(he)蓄水堤壩。堤壩建成后，根據古星相學說(shuo)：“文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)在(zai)(zai)斗而北，謂主撫州(zhou)(zhou)。”堤壩上值文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)星，預兆撫州(zhou)(zhou)文(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)隆，故命(ming)名為(wei)“文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)堰(yan)(yan)”，又稱“千金(jin)陂(po)”。北宋沿襲唐代鄉里(li)制度，撫河(he)以東(dong)屬港東(dong)廂，因其地(di)有文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)堰(yan)(yan)，故將(jiang)文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)堰(yan)(yan)附(fu)近區域命(ming)名為(wei)“文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)里(li)”，迄今已歷千年(nian)。其后與“文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)”相關的(de)地(di)名，如文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)橋(qiao)、文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)門、文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)堂(tang)、文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)樓、文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)閣、文(wen)(wen)昌(chang)(chang)(chang)(chang)軒等一批代表(biao)臨川(chuan)文(wen)(wen)化(hua)(hua)特色的(de)贛派建筑(zhu)(zhu)相繼應運而生。

2006年，玉隆萬壽(shou)宮列為江西省重點文物保(bao)護單(dan)位(wei)，
2011年，玉(yu)隆萬壽宮列為(wei)全國(guo)重(zhong)點文(wen)物保護單位，是撫州市(shi)中心城區(qu)內唯(wei)一一座“國(guo)保”文(wen)物，也是“臨川(chuan)文(wen)化”中古(gu)建筑的優秀代表(biao)。
撫州(zhou)圣(sheng)若瑟大(da)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)堂(tang)座落在臨川區文昌橋東靈芝山路(lu)。始建于(yu)1908年，1918年竣工。整個教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)堂(tang)占(zhan)地面積3850平方米，建筑(zhu)面積2109平方米，為全(quan)國大(da)型(xing)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)堂(tang)和全(quan)省重點(dian)開放教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)堂(tang)。1995年被(bei)收入由國務院宗(zong)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)局(ju)編印(yin)的《中(zhong)國宗(zong)教(jiao)(jiao)(jiao)文化(hua)大(da)觀》大(da)型(xing)畫冊。
位(wei)于(yu)(yu)撫州城上(shang)游撫河與干港分流處的(de)千(qian)(qian)金(jin)(jin)陂是撫州古(gu)代水利工(gong)程，始建于(yu)(yu)中唐(tang)時期，至今已有1200多年(nian)歷史(shi)，曾命名為(wei)華(hua)陂、土塍陂、冷(leng)泉(quan)陂等。現(xian)存(cun)的(de)千(qian)(qian)金(jin)(jin)陂為(wei)明代天啟年(nian)間(jian)重建，長約1100米，頂寬(kuan)10余米，是一條用(yong)麻石砌成的(de)陂堰。
當地官方稱，明代(dai)戲劇(ju)家湯顯祖曾(ceng)為(wei)其作《金(jin)堤(di)賦(fu)》，并曾(ceng)編撰《千金(jin)堤(di)志》，詳細記述工程建設(she)情況，但資(zi)料已散失，有待尋考。
據介紹，千金陂是長(chang)江中游典型的(de)具(ju)有灌溉、水運、排澇(lao)、防洪等(deng)多(duo)方面功能的(de)大型圍(wei)區水利工程(cheng)，現狀灌溉面積2.2萬畝。
目前，歷經滄桑的千金陂仍矗立(li)在撫(fu)河岸(an)邊，汛期約三分之一的洪水(shui)從干港分流，三分之二的水(shui)流回歸撫(fu)河，為(wei)撫(fu)州市的城市防(fang)洪繼續發揮(hui)著重要作用。
2017年(nian)，江(jiang)西撫(fu)州(zhou)將(jiang)千金陂遺址列為市(shi)級文(wen)物保護單位。2019年(nian)，第(di)3屆世(shi)界灌溉(gai)(gai)論(lun)壇暨國際(ji)灌排委員會第(di)70屆國際(ji)執行(xing)理(li)事會上，江(jiang)西撫(fu)州(zhou)千金陂成功列入世(shi)界灌溉(gai)(gai)工程遺產名錄并被授牌。

唐代中期，為(wei)消弭(mi)水患、灌(guan)溉農田，撫州官府(fu)動(dong)員民(min)眾在(zai)城東聶家、楊家二洲之間撫河段修筑攔(lan)河蓄水堤壩。堤壩建(jian)成后，根據古星(xing)相學說，“文(wen)(wen)昌在(zai)斗(dou)而北，謂主(zhu)撫州。”堤壩上值文(wen)(wen)昌星(xing)，預兆撫州文(wen)(wen)化昌隆，故命名為(wei)“文(wen)(wen)昌堰”，又(you)稱“千金陂”。
北宋(song)建立后，統治者沿襲(xi)唐(tang)代鄉里制度，臨川縣城(cheng)（即撫州府城(cheng)）四郊分為港東(dong)廂(xiang)(xiang)、外東(dong)廂(xiang)(xiang)、外南廂(xiang)(xiang)、外北廂(xiang)(xiang)等四廂(xiang)(xiang)，撫河(he)以東(dong)屬港東(dong)廂(xiang)(xiang)，因其地(di)有(you)文昌(chang)堰(yan)，故將(jiang)文昌(chang)堰(yan)附近區域命名為“文昌(chang)里”。
文(wen)昌里地名沿(yan)襲至清末(mo)，民國初隨著基(ji)層鄉里制度的廢棄，文(wen)昌里易名東(dong)外鎮。
