Well, One of my friend is an artist then, she can create dolls from the mud, and painted with oil color, then move it to the oven to make it hard, then brushed with the varnish, so finally the mud became the art product. Games also has it's background.
In this picture, little guys are making tank and pistols, and emulating military scene from the movie, there're a lot of war movies in old that time. Nowadays little boys will not able to create such model then.
And I found there're several songs about mud playing, one of them is a very fresh one, released in July 2007, in Mandarin. Try to translate it here:
| Song: Little (Xiao Xiao) Singer: Joey Yung Lyricist: Fang Wenshan Composer: Jay Chow Arrangement: Michael Lin #The memory is like, a people who talking stories (讲谈を语る) using voice full of local accent jump over the puddle, bypass the village waiting for the luck meeting again You pinch a castle by mud say you'll marry me to your home in the future How many times I turn around, passing by your door, youth wasted# little sware, not stable yet little tears, is keeping in eyes Little lips, is telling department *A person lived in my heart from then on Little us That year you carring the little wooden stool To watch the show, I follow you I'm looking for the one in the story, you're the part could not be absent You took a snap under the tree I waited there softheaded* Repeat # little touching, rain running little awkward, love dearly little us, don't know how to kiss yet Repeat * A person lived in my heart from then on Little us Like emulating the drama, talk love and recite the scenario You can't pronouce correctly because of agomphosis I'm looking for the one in the story, You're the part could not be absent The little friends pull the little hands Keeping the little for ever | 歌曲: 小小 歌手：容祖儿 作词:方文山 作曲:周杰伦 编曲:林迈可 #回忆像个说书的人 用充满乡音的口吻 跳过水坑绕过小村 等相遇的缘分 你用泥巴捏一座城 说将来要娶我进门 转多少身 过几次门 虚掷青春# 小小的誓言还不稳 小小的泪水还在撑 稚嫩的唇在说离分 *我的心里从此住了一个人 曾经模样小小的我们 那年你搬小小的板凳 为戏入迷我也一路跟 我在找那个故事里的人 你是不能缺少的部份 你在树下小小的打盹 小小的我傻傻等* 重复# 小小的感动雨纷纷 小小的别扭惹人疼 小小的人还不会吻 重复* 我的心里从此住了一个人 曾经模样小小的我们 当初学人说爱念剧本 缺牙的你发音却不准 我在找那个故事里的人 你是不能缺少的部份 小小的手牵小小的人 守著小小的永恒 |

I'm not a fan of this Joey, and because of sound card problem, so I haven't listened this song yet, but I trust Jay chow, he would not produce ugly songs:) Here is the mv in youtube (I don't know how to put it here), mud is replaced with payper plane and sewing in it:) does the director think mud is dirty, not romantic?
Some introduction of this song.
In recent years, Joey Yung has been one of the very few Hong Kong singers to successfully break into the Mandarin market, and it's no wonder considering how hard she works. The singer just returned from dance lessons in the States, and she is already preparing for her upcoming concert with Grasshoppers. Her TVB police drama One the First Beat is also currently airing in Hong Kong. Topping everything off is her new Mandarin album Little, which comes a year after 2006's Jump Up 9492
Title track Little (Track 2) is composed by Jay Chou, with lyrics and arrangement from his regular collaborators Vincent Fang and Michael Lin. Musical sparks fly as the two Chinese pop heavyweights work together for the first time, and the song quietly enchants with its gentle folk-inspired ballad and wistfully romantic lyrics. This 10-track album also features two songs from renowned Mainland producer and composer Zhang Yadong and the Chinese theme (Track 10) for Korean drama Hwang Jin Yi.
This edition comes with a DVD containing three music videos.
