Wen shengen

Explanation: groan: a low hum when you are sick. I'm not sick. I'm humming. It is a metaphor for sighing and feeling that there is nothing to be sad about. It is also a metaphor that literary and artistic works have no true feelings and put on airs.

From: Song Xin Qiji's "Linjiang Xian" words: "After a hundred years, it is happier to sigh and groan without illness."

Ex.: Later, I just lamented being old and humble. ◎ Zhu Ziqing's On Scholars' Sour Gas
