At the age of 16, he played Yueqin with sun zuochen and concentrated on learning Jinghu. At the age of 22, he played piano for Xu Biyun. Since the age of 33, he has cooperated with Tan Fuying for 18 years, and his piano skills have improved greatly. The accompaniment is mainly composed of Laosheng, Qingyi, Hualian and laodan. There are Yan Jupeng, Jiang Junjia, Wang Youchen, Jin Shaoshan, Qiu Shengrong, Li Zongyi, Ji Yuliang and so on. During the period of the Republic of China, an important official once invited Zhao to play piano for him, but he was severely refused.

Zhao Jitang's playing skills are like sun zuochen's, but he has learned a lot from other people's strong points. His piano sound is strong and forceful, and his supporting tone is full and mellow. He pays attention to the air mouth, cushion head and bow technique, forming his own unique style and reaching the situation of "six field penetration". He often talks with famous drummers such as hang Zihe and Bai Dengyun. He is familiar with gongs, Qin, and drum. He is especially good at playing allegro. He is characterized by good bow head, uniform size, affordable and neat words.

Hang Zihe said Zhao was the most handy collaborator in his life. Zhao accompaniment serious, meticulous, for many years never made a mistake. Zhao has many disciples and has a great influence.
