Definition
照样 (zhào yàng) means 'still in the same manner', emphasizing that the way something is done remains unchanged, often despite changed conditions. It is more specific about the method than 仍然/依然/仍旧/依旧, which just mean 'still'. Unlike 照常 (as usual, focusing on routine) or 照例 (as per precedent, focusing on rule), 照样 highlights the manner itself.
