Ancient Chinese emperors worshipped Shangdi (上帝). He was never represented either by images or idols. The rest of the Chinese populace (Buddhism and Taoism) worshipped idols.

Wiki:

It was during Ming and Qing dynasty, when Roman Catholicism was introduced by Jesuit Priest Matteo Ricci, that the idea of "Shangdi" started to be applied to the Christian conception of God.

I heard about the Man from Heaven, so it is awesome how the Chinese might have recorded Christ's birth and the date of Easter.
