不像当年秦始王

[bù xiàng dāng nián qín shĭ wáng]
This roughly means 'Not like the Qin Shi Wang at that time'. It uses a metaphor to the first Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, showing contrast or dissatisfaction to greatness, supremacy. People could either humbly admit they are nowhere close to what they once were, implying decline, or make some form of self-derision.
