The main objective of this article is to study dynamic of the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations with the periodic boundary condition.We prove that when the Rayleigh number $R$ crosses the first critical Rayleigh number $R_c$, the Rayleigh-Bénard problem bifurcates from the basic state to an global attractor $\Sigma$, which is homeomorphic to $S^3$.
