This phenomenon is known as the (exact) quantum many-body scar (QMBS) dynamics. We show that a wide range of QMBS models, plus many new ones, can be unified and constructed following one prescription based on a non-Abelian symmetry that we call the quasisymmetry. In addition we show that the recently discovered asymptotic scar states in the XY-model exist in generic QMBS models as the Nambu-Goldstone modes of the corresponding quasisymmetry.
