Dear Tianhua,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">seems like a fairly common metonymy. A similar case I can think of right now is in English where you say “We’ll eat Italian tonight” to mean “We’ll eat Italian food tonight”.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Regards,</div>
<div class="">Ian</div>
