It's a known fact that prior to the establishment of the Great Hakurei Barrier, the people who would come to settle in the area of Gensokyo were great and powerful hunters of youkai sent to the land to rid the place of them. It was only relatively recently that in the 1880s it was decided among the great sages of Gensokyo to seal Gensokyo away from the rest of the world, ending conflict between the humans and the youkai with the joint effort to erect the barrier. Coincidentally, the erection of the barrier was the last time anyone had ever seen the creator god of Gensokyo, the Dragon. Since then, there has been a lasting peace between the humans who had stayed within the barrier and the myriad youkai and gods where the humans continue to provide belief to them and sustain their existence and the latter protect and bestow upon them miracles to satisfy them. The whole purpose of Gensokyo is to preserve, protect and save the mystical beings thrown to the wayside by the rapidly advancing world outside, after all. The whole land is essentially one big wild animal reserve for gods, youkai, and other fantastic creatures.

Becoming a youkai, and killing either humans or youkai without the approval of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is punishable by death. Not too sure if breeding with youkai is a crime but considering it dilutes the small human population it's not a widely accepted practice.
