There were four big religions in Ancient China, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Chinese folk religion.
Confucianism is less of a religion and more of a set of rules on how people should treat each other and the relations between different people, how the Father be towards the Son and how to Lord should treat the Subject,
Taoism deals a lot with mystical forces and includes a multitude of Gods ranging from the All-mighty Three Pure Ones to local Gods revered in only a single village. The ruler of Heaven and all under it is the Jade Emperor, who all Emperor were descendants of and who also granted the Emperor the "Mandate of Heaven", his right to rule.
Buddhism, well just look it up on Wikipedia, you probably already know about it.
Chinese folk religion, it reminds you of Taoism, with it's many Gods and local deities, but it also includes ancestor worship and doesn't require a priest.
The Concept of only being able to believe in a single religion is very "western" and the ancient Chinese, like the modern, believed in a mix of all for of these.
