Historical Context
The cultivation of autism conceptualized around the founding of the Eighth Route Army. The unique cultural development of the Wang Clan and Eighth Route Army propagated the worship and admiration of autism. However, for earlier periods of Wang Clan history, the concept was not yet fully realized.

During periods of war between the Eighth Route Army and northern barbarians, the Wang Clan saw a significant spread of fervent nationalism that led to a desire to differentiate the Wang Clan with other groups. The wartime period of the Wang Clan saw the development of ideas of Wang Clan superiority and a growing Anti-Richterist sentiment and a distrust and resentment of Richterist defectors.

Following the conclusion of the Northeast Campaigns and Five Days War, the Wang Clan, following a traditional religious and cultural revival, began the cultivation of new ideas. Hence, the concept of Zibi Xiulian was concieved.

Today, Zibi Xiulian plays an important role in Eighth Route Army cohesion and politics.
