Re: "a common copy pasta." Learned the term "copypasta" (usually one word) myself today.

[...a portmanteau of "copy" and "paste" ... to text that is copied and then pasted multiple times, often in online forums or social media. It originated on 4chan around 2006]

Is there a Chinese idiom you translated it from?

Cheers,

Oh no, I was just looking for a good expression for "a small chunk of text that is frequently quoted by people to express a common sentiment and often as a rote reply". It isn't quite a meme. Closest term I could come to was "copypasta"
