In oracle bone script,「长」resembles a long-haired elder leaning on a staff — long hair was the mark of a senior person. Its original meaning is 'long' in length.
In bronze script, the long-hair image of「长」became more vivid, emphasizing the cascading hair.
In seal script,「长」combines「人」(person) and「匕」. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Chang means enduring and far-reaching.'
