He was a descendant of the Song dynasty imperial family and was educated in the imperial university. In 1286, Zhao accepted service into the newly established Mongol court. He is well known for his paintings of horses, as well as other animal groups, landscapes, and bamboo. His works are characterized by a variety of brushwork and employ simplified color and compositions. Both his wife, Guan Daosheng, and his son, Zhao Yong, were painters of note. He passed away in 1322.
