过于本位脉名长，弦则非然但满张。
—— 濒湖脉学 · 长脉 · 体状诗
Passing beyond its own position the pulse is called long; not taut as a wiry pulse, yet fully stretched.
脉体长，首尾端直，超过本位，如循长竿。
The pulse is long in body, straight at head and tail, extending beyond its own position like running the finger along a long pole.
长而和缓为气血充盛之平脉；长而硬满则主阳亢、热盛、痰火、内风。
Long and harmonious reflects abundant qi and blood—a normal pulse. Long with hardness and fullness indicates hyperactive yang, excess heat, phlegm-fire, or internal wind.
