Sao Mi Zhou (simplified Chinese: 扫迷帚; traditional Chinese: 掃迷帚; pinyin: sǎo mí zhǒu; lit. 'The broom that sweeps away superstition') is a Chinese serial novel in 24 installments published in 1903 under the pseudonym Zhuàngzhě (壯者; lit. "strong man"). The word "superstition" (Chinese: 迷信; pinyin: míxìn) had just been introduced in the Chinese language (from Japanese) a few years earlier by Liang Qichao.[1] The novel attempted to convince people to oppose traditional Chinese religious ideas, which the author saw as backward and an obstacle to progress. Most of the novel is built around a discussion on the topic between two brothers.
