Ziqing started learning flute at nine and was active in the youth orchestra in Guangzhou from eleven to sixteen. At age fifteen, she was accepted to attend the Xinghai Conservatory of Music Affiliated Secondary School of Music in Guangzhou, China. While studying at the Xinghai Conservatory, she was the principal flute in the school orchestra and several community orchestras. Ziqing came to the U.S. for her graduate studies in 2015; she holds an MM degree from Texas State University and a DMA from the University of South Carolina.

Equally adept as a solo recitalist, chamber musician, and orchestral player, she has appeared in concert at Musicartissimo Flute Master Class and Recital in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and the Mid-Atlantic Flute 2022 Virtual Convention “Inspirations of Our Heritage” Concert.  She was a member of the flute quartet Duende at the UofSC, which won the first prize winner in the Flute Society of Kentucky Chamber Music Competition. Her flute quartet at the Xinghai Conservatory won the second prize in the China Flute Association Chamber Music Competition. Ziqing was the principal flutist of the Texas State Chamber Orchestra European Tour with performances at Martinu Hall of the Academy of Music in Prague, Parish Church of Luxemburg, and Mom Culture Center in Budapest. She has also played with the Aiken Symphony Orchestra, Rock Hill Symphony Orchestra, Aiken Civic Orchestra, and Spartanburg Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra in South Carolina.

In addition to performing, Ziqing is a dedicated and passionate music educator. She was a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Carolina flute studio, taking responsibility for teaching flute minor and music education students, coaching chamber groups, and helping with studio administration. As TA, she also served as a board member of the South Carolina Flute Society, organizing the 2020 and 2021 South Carolina Flute Society Festivals and competitions. In June-August 2023, Ziqing was a flute teaching assistant at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan, where she worked with aspiring flutists from ages 8 to 18.

Outside of music, Ziqing loves to work out and, in 2021, was certified by the American Council on Exercise as a personal trainer. Her doctoral research combines her passion for flute-playing and exercise; her DMA document is Injury Prevention Exercise Guidelines for Flutists. In it, she explores the relationship between strength training and injury prevention. She offers a detailed exercise plan and a practice plan incorporating stretching and strength-building for flutists who suffer PRMDs (playing-related musculoskeletal disorders) and those who wish to prevent these common playing-related injuries. Ziqing has presented workshops and classes on this topic to the South Carolina Flute Society Festival, Interlochen Arts Camp, and Georgia College And State University.
