参照

含义

To refer to; to use as a reference or model; to follow in accordance with. Indicates taking something as a guide, benchmark, or standard when making decisions, drafting rules, or producing work.

More formal and prescriptive than 参考 (to consult/refer to). 参照 implies closer adherence to a standard — often translating as 'in accordance with,' 'based on,' or 'following.' Frequently appears in legal language (参照相关法规), official regulations, technical specifications, and formal instructions. Not used for casual information-browsing.
