Change reference title size

Question

I need to change the font size of reference title in ctexbook. An obvious way is redefining the \bibname macro. However, that would change the heading as well. For example, \renewcommand{\bibname}{\zihao{2} 参考文献} leads to

So, my question is how to change the font size of the title without affecting the heading. Since biblatex is incompatible with many other packages, I would prefer non-biblatex solution.

the size of the references title is almost always defined in the document class; often it's simply an application of \chapter or \section. so unless the document class is known, it's not possible to help. — barbara beeton, Apr 07 '16 at 17:09
@barbarabeeton I've edited to emphasize the document class ctexbook. I guess the problem exists in other document classes as well. — cqdjyy01234, Apr 08 '16 at 00:35

Motivated by Gonzalo Medina's answer from How to remove the “References” title, I use \patchcmd to modify the definition of \thebibliography.

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\chapter*{\bibname}}{\chapter*{\zihao{2}\bibname}}{}{}

gives what I want.
