		<description>The fact that they are so &quot;dull&quot; and not so full of a variety of plants makes Chinese and Japanese-style gardens very interesting, mainly because you have to understand the symbolism of each element. Also, it depends on the philosophy of each type of garden inside that larger umbrella term of Japanese/Chinese garden, because you can have a Zen garden - very simple yet still having some plants and fauna -, a stone garden - mainly only sand and stones, symbolizing the immortality of nature as opposed to the creatures inhabiting it - and also more aesthetic gardens, like landscape gardens or even more wild-like Chinese gardens. 

So it&#039;s a bit much to call them dull, especially since Western-style gardens, apart from looking neat or, on the contrary, wild, don&#039;t have actually a meaning to them as a whole. Sure, you get roses planted for their meaning, or a landscape done to try and imitate a natural corner, but you&#039;ll never see a Western garden constructed on a philosophical principle like the Chinese or Japanese gardens. Which is kinda sad, but not unexpected, the Western world is known for its superficiality(and yes, I&#039;m a Westerner myself)</description>
