Yes, only I don't need that complex. I mean \chinesenumber{123} will give
"one hundred and twenty-three" but all I want is "one two three." Besides,
I don't like to copy such long codes since I really don't want to load
font-chi.tex
which gives weird spacing problems while typesetting Chinese along with
English. Anyway, I'd love to learn something rather than to use something.
Thanks.
A slightly modified version.

You could now also use counter values.

\def\dododozhnumber#1%
 {\ifcase#1
  a\or
  b\or
  c\or
  d\or
  e\or
  f\or
  g\or
  i\or
  h\or
  i\fi}

\def\zhnumber#1%
 {\expandafter\dozhnumber#1\endzhnumber}

\def\endzhnumber{\endzhnumber}

\def\dozhnumber
 {\futurelet\next\dodozhnumber}

\def\dodozhnumber
 {\ifx\next\endzhnumber
    \let\next\gobbleoneargument
  \else
    \def\next##1{\dododozhnumber{##1}\dozhnumber}%
  \fi\next}

\starttext
\zhnumber{01234}

\zhnumber{\number\pageno}
\stoptext
