The ancient Chinese believed in an afterlife but imagined that it would be very similar to their life on Earth. They believed that people would have the same needs in the after life as they did when they were alive, which is why many people were buried with useful household items. In early times, the servants and families of wealthy people were expected to sacrifice themselves to accompany their master into the afterlife. Later, however, carpenters and sculptors were commissioned to make statues of servants that could be buried with the dead.
Some Chinese people believed that the afterlife was different for good and bad people. The souls of the good people rose to the court of Trien, or heaven, while the souls of the bad people descend into one of the 18 levels of hell, depending on their crimes
Chinese people believe in a cycle of birth, death and rebirth until the person achieves perfect goodness and spiritual knowledge, whereupon the cycle of rebirth is broken and one goes to heaven. There is no hell.
Confucius didn't want to speculate on the afterlife, because, he was too concerned with this life.
However, he probably did believe in it, because, he encouraged ancestor worship.
