Let $X$ be a nonsingular projective $n$-fold $(n\ge 2)$ of Fano or of general type with ample canonical bundle $K_X$ over an algebraic closed field $\kappa$ of any characteristic. We produce a new method to give a bunch of inequalities in terms of all the Chern classes $c_1, c_2, \cdots, c_n$ by pulling back Schubert classes in the Chow group of Grassmannian under Gauss map. Moreover, we show that if characteristic of $\kappa$ is $0$, then the Chern ratios $(\frac{c_{2,1^{n-2}}}{c_{1^n}}, \frac{c_{2,2,1^{n-4}}}{c_{1^n}}, \cdots, \frac{c_{n}}{c_{1^n}})$ is contained in a convex polyhedron for all $X$. So we give an affirmative answer to a generalized open question, that whether the region described by the Chern ratios is bounded, posted by Hunt (\cite{Hun}) to all dimensions. As a corollary, we can get that there exists constants $d_1$ and $d_2$ such that $d_1K_X^n\le\chi_{top}(X)\le d_2 K_X^n.$ If characteristic of $\kappa$ is positive, $K_X$ is ample and $\mathscr{O}_X(K_X)$ is globally generated, then the same results hold.
