==Biography==
Rulan Chao Pian's parents, the linguist Yuen Ren Chao and the physician and food writer Buwei Yang Chao, were resident in Cambridge beginning in 1920 after Y.R. was appointed to the faculty at Harvard. After travels in China and France, the family returned to the United States, traveling to Hawaii, New Haven, and Washington D.C.〔 She studied some piano as a youth, though frequent travels made this difficult.〔(Autobiographical essay ), Chinese University of Hong Kong.〕 Pian enrolled in Radcliffe College where she received a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts in music history (Western music) in 1943 (dated 1944) and 1946, respectively, and a Ph.D. in both East Asian Languages and in Music in 1960.〔〔 Her music instructors included "Doc" Archibald T. Davison, Edward Ballantine, A. Tillman Merritt, John Ward and Walter Piston.〔 She taught at Harvard continuously from 1947 beginning as a teaching assistant in Chinese language, before being promoted to instructor and lecturer.〔 In 1974 she became Professor in the Department of Music and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations.〔 She was one of three tenured female professors in the Harvard Music Department, one of thirteen total in the entire Faculty of Arts and Sciences.〔Anne C. Shreffler, ("The More Things Change...: Music at Harvard, Then and Now ), Harvard Music Newsletter 8.2, Summer 2008〕 In 1945, she married Theodore Hsueh-Huang Pian, later a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT with whom they had a daughter, Canta Chao-po-Pian.〔 With Theodore, in 1975 she became co-master of Harvard's South House (now Cabot House), the first non-white housemasters in Harvard history.〔(Renowned Music Scholar was First Nonwhite House Master ), ''Harvard Crimson'' January 22, 2014〕 Pian was also one of the first female housemasters; a portrait of her with Chinese musical instruments hangs in the house.〔(Harvard Aims to Reflect Diverse Faces in Portraits ), ''Boston Globe'', November 7, 2010〕 She retired from Harvard in 1992, but continued to teach students individually in her home, some of whom lived with her upon their arrival from China, such as the composer Lei Liang who credits her as one of his most important mentors and musical influences.〔〔(Interview with Lei Liang )〕
With her father, she edited and translated her mother's ''How to Cook and Eat in Chinese'', the book responsible for introducing the terms stir fry and pot sticker into English.〔From Buwei Yang Chao's preface: "I cooked my dishes in Chinese, my daughter Rulan put my Chinese into English". Quoted in Epstein, Jason. "(FOOD; Chinese Characters )." ''The New York Times''. June 13, 2004. Retrieved on July 31, 2013.〕
Pian died of pulmonary fibrosis. Obituaries appeared widely.〔"In Memoriam: Rulan Chao Pian, 1922-2013," ''Women in Academia Report'' December 24, 2013, p. 24〕〔(In Memory of Professor Rulan Chao Pian ), Chinese University of Hongkong〕 A memorial at Harvard was held on March 30, 2014〔(Rulan Pian ), Harvard Music Department〕 and an exhibition in her memory was held at Chinese University of Hong Kong.〔(Exhibition information )〕
