Question about the wuxia (?) genre

I've noticed that the clan names and important figures are usually the same throughout various manhwas and I thought maybe it's based on history? But I haven't done any research on it

So can someone explain how all the stories have similar world building?
(I genuinely have no idea, being based on historical events seems the most logical to me?)

    Some manhwas use the same names as a joke. Like how theres always a beggar sect in a murim manhwa lol. They make fun of cliches.

    Is it just that simple?

    It could also just be a very common last name thing? I haven't read wuxia in a while though, hard to find one that hits right with me
