Popis: We present a study of molecular outflows using six molecular lines (including 12CO/13CO/C18O/HCO+(J = 1-0) and SiO/CS(J = 2-1)) toward nine nearby high-mass star-forming regions with accurate known distances. This work is based on the high-sensitivity observations obtained with the 14-m millimeter telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha (PMODLH) observatory. The detection rate of outflows (including 12CO, 13CO, HCO+, and CS) is 100\%. However, the emission of SiO was not detected for all sources. The full line widths ($\Delta V$) at 3$\sigma$ above the baseline of these molecular lines have the relationship $\Delta V_{\rm ^{12}CO} > \Delta V_{\rm HCO^{+}} > \Delta V_{\rm CS} \approx \Delta V_{\rm ^{13}CO} > \Delta V_{\rm ^{18}CO}$. 12CO and HCO+ can be used to trace relatively high-velocity outflows, while 13CO and CS can be employed to trace relatively low-velocity outflows. The dynamical timescales of the 13CO and CS outflows are longer than those of the 12CO and HCO+ outflows. The mechanical luminosities, masses, mass-loss rates and forces of all outflows (including 12CO, 13CO, HCO+, and CS) are correlated with the bolometric luminosities of their central IRAS sources.
