In Wuxia, it is not unusual to encounter the so called "Five Great Houses" (Hanzi: 五代世家, Hangul: 오대세가, Romaja: odeasega), which is a faction of powerful families, clans, schools or households (세가, 世家, sega) belonging to the orthodox path (정파, jungpha, 正派) in contrast to Sapa. They commonly include the Tang Family, Nangong Family, and the Zhuge Clan. The remaining two families may vary, but are usually the Murong Clan and Hebei Peng Clan.[1][2] Unlike sects, clans require blood relation to become a member.
Compare with the Ten Great Sects, which initiate members through recruitment instead of requiring blood relation.
Examples of Five Great Clans include:
